Thetrueazure: What's this? Azure's doing another Omake? This is madness!
Ritsu: Madness?
Thetrueazure: I swear if you finish that sentence, you will be thrown out the window into the lion's pit.
Ritsu: Fine. This is for our friend Gunmare. His birthday is today. We own nothing.
Omake Chapter 2
Over at Ritsu's house everyone talking amongst themselves until Kuraki asked Nami a question.
"Hey Nami, when's your birthday?" Kuraki asked which threw Nami off guard.
"Yeah that's right; you never told us when it is." Satoshi said.
Nami blushed in embarrassment. "Uh, well, it's going to be in a few days."
"Did you two know about this?" Yuzuki glared at Ritsu and Kurogasa who looked nervous.
"Um, well look at the time! I should be going now." Ritsu speed walked out of the house with Kurogasa behind while Yuzuki and Kuraki chased the two.
"Ritsu Himuro you get back here right now." Yuzuki said and chased after them.
"So, back on topic." Akira said and looked at his girlfriend. "If it's going to be in a few days then what should I get you?"
Nami shook her head. "You don't have to get me anything."
"But I want to."
Krad groaned. "Gag me." Krad received an elbow to the side, courtesy of Keira.
"Well, say you did want something." Keira said. "What would it be?"
Nami thought about it for awhile and thought of something. "There is a card I've been looking for but haven't found yet."
"Oh really?" Akira said. "What is it?"
"Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier." Nami said.
"That won't be too bad. Find the card and give it to you." Everyone looked at Krad. "What?"
"Obviously Krad doesn't know this, but Gungnir is a very rare card." Satoshi explained. "Very few have been made and distributed."
"That's going to be a problem." Keira said.
"It's fine, I just want to spend my birthday with my friends, that's all." Nami said and walked out of the house. Satoshi, Shiko, Krad and Keira looked at Akira.
"You're going to find that card, aren't you?" Krad asked.
"You bet." Akira said.
"But how are you going to? From what I know, only ten have been made." Satoshi said.
"I'll find a way." Akira said.
1 day left until Nami's birthday.
"I got nothing." Akira said with a sigh while he walked through the streets of New Domino. "I've been to every card shop in New Domino and every one of them said that they don't have Gungnir."
KazeRyu appeared beside him. "I would offer my assistance, but Gungnir is a legend among the duel spirits, it's a surprise how she was able to find Trishila."
"Don't worry about it Kaze." Akira said. "Let's just face it, I won't be able to find Gungnir in time."
"Excuse me good sir." Akira looked to see a man in an alleyway pointing at him. "But I believe I have a solution to your dilemma. Follow me." The man when into an abandoned warehouse which made Akira uneasy.
"Something isn't right Akira." KazeRyu told him. "It has to be a trap."
"It probably is Kaze, let's just play along OK." Akira answered and followed the man in the warehouse. It looked like it wasn't used for a few years, there was dust everywhere. Akira saw the man he followed in the middle of the room with a suitcase in hand. "OK, so I followed you here, what's your solution?"
The man chuckled. "So quick to the point Akira."
This brought Akira's guard up. "How do you know my name?"
"I know a lot of things." The man said. "A duelist who was the best one in underground dueling and a duelist who wields the wind dragon KazeRyu."
"Who are you?"
"My name is not important, but I am a card collector with a certain card you desire." The collector held up a Gungnir card.
"That's the card I'm looking for!" Akira said in surprise and regained his composer.
"Why yes it is." The collector said. "I could give it to you, but that wouldn't be fun. This is why I propose a trade."
Akira didn't like where this was going. "What do you have in mind?"
"I will give you Gungnir if you give me the famed KazeRyu." The collector said. "A card that rare should belong to me."
"No deal." Akira flat out refused the offer which surprised the collector. "Sorry, but Kaze and I are inseparable, I refuse your offer." Akira turned around to see someone close the door and lock it.
"Sorry, but if you won't comply, then I'll have to take it by force." The collector tossed a duel disk towards Akira who caught it. "We duel and if I win, KazeRyu is mine, if you win then you get Gungnir."
"Sounds fair." Akira strapped on the duel disk.
"Very well then, shall we?" Both Akira and the collector activated their duel disks and drew their opening hands.
Akira/Collector: Duel!
Akira: 4000
Collector: 4000
"I'll take the first turn." The collector drew his sixth card. "I activate the spell card Final Countdown!" Twenty pillars surrounded the two duelists.
"Damn, an instant win card." Akira thought.
"I pay 2000 life points and in twenty turns, KazeRyu will be mine." A red glow around the collector indicated the cost.
Akira: 4000
Collector: 2000
"I set three cards facedown and end my turn." Three reverse cards appeared and a flame appeared on the pillar (Turns left: 19).
"My move! I draw!" Akira drew his sixth card. "Great, I'm on a time limit now, can't my day get any worse?"
"I activate the trap card Gravity Bind, now level 4 and above monsters cannot declare an attack!"
"I stand corrected." Akira thought and looked at his hand. "I summon Mist Valley Thunderbird (3/1100/700) in attack mode!" A small yellow bird flew around the field in a roar of thunder. "Attack him directly!"
"I play the counter trap Negate Attack!" A vortex blocked the attack. "Your attack is negated and the battle phase ends."
"Damn." Akira muttered. "I set two cards facedown and end my turn." Two reverse cards appeared as another flame appeared on a pillar (Turns left: 18).
"I draw." The collector drew his next card. "I activate the quick play spell card Turn Jump."
"Great." Akira groaned. "Let me guess, we're moving six turns into the future, 3 of your turns and three of mine?"
"Precisely. Not only that, but Final Countdown gets six more counters." Six more flames were lit on the pillars (Turns left: 12).
"Now I know his deck is geared towards increasing the turn count for Final Countdown so I can assume he has two more Turn Jumps in that deck." Akira thought.
"I'll set one more card facedown and end my turn." One reverse card appeared and another flame was lit (Turns left: 11).
"Why aren't you attacking?" Akira asked. "Are you scared?"
"Why would I be scared? Everyone has their own dueling styles so I don't want to hear anything from you."
Fine then, I draw!" Akira drew his next card.
"I activate the continuous trap card Discord." The collectors face down card flipped up. "Now neither of us can synchro summon until my third end phase after activation."
"Another stall card." Akira said in an annoyed voice. "I summon Mist Valley Shaman (3/1200/1200) in attack mode!" A female shaman appeared next to Mist Valley Thunderbird.
"Didn't I just tell you, you can't synchro summon." The collector pointed out.
"I know that, which is why they're going to attack you directly!" Mist Valley Shaman and Thunderbird prepared to attack.
"Now I activate the trap card Threatening Roar." A pulsating wave hit the two monsters and stopped them in their tracks. "You're battle phase is now skipped."
"OK, he is really starting to get on my nerves." Akira thought. "I end my turn." Another flame was lit (Turns left: 10)
"It's only a matter of time before KazeRyu is mine." The collector drew his next card. "I activate my second Turn Jump, you know the drill; let's go six turns in the future." Six more pillars were lit, there were four unlit pillars left (Turns left: 4).
"Thanks for that!" Akira said. "Since three of your turns passed your Discord trap is destroyed!" The collectors trap card shattered.
"It doesn't matter, my victory is assured." The collector said. "I end my turn." Another flame was lit and there were three unlit pillars left (Turns left: 3).
"Now or never." Akira drew his next card and smiled. "You know, you think you have everything set. Did you even look at your field?"
The collector looked at his field; had had no monsters and no facedowns, he was wide open.
"So what! Gravity Bind keeps all level 4 or above monsters from declaring an attack!"
Akira smiled. "I know, but what level are the monsters on the field?" The collector's eyes widened. "That's right, Mist Valley Shaman and Mist Valley Thunderbird! Attack his life points directly!" Both monsters sent a tornado at the collector which dropped his life points to zero.
Akira: 4000
Collector: 0
"A deals a deal." Akira picked up the card in front of the collector. "Later." Akira walked out of the warehouse and sighed "The things I do for love."
"Well, at least we got the card." KazeRyu said. "Nami will love it."
"I'm sure she will."
Morning
Nami slowly opened her eyes and looked at the calendar and smiled.
"Out with eighteen, in with nineteen." Nami said to herself as Leviathan appeared.
"Happy Birthday milady."
Nami giggled. "Leviathan, how many times do I have to explain about the 'milady' thing?"
"Hehe, forgive me."
"It's alright; I'm starting to get use to it anyways." Nami laughed slightly and got dressed and went into the living room for the surprise of her life.
"Happy Birthday!" Everyone said which surprised her.
"You guys." Nami said. "I thought you weren't going to do this."
"Yeah well this one right here made us." Ritsu pointed at Akira and received an elbow from Yuzuki. "I swear, I'm a glutton for punishment."
"Ain't that the truth?" Satoshi said.
"Shut it Satoshi." Ritsu said while Akira gave Nami something.
"Happy Birthday Nami." Nami opened the gift and was shocked at what it was.
"T-This is Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier!" Nami said in surprise. "The card I was trying to find for years!"
"I looked all over the place for it."
"You must've gone through hell trying to find it." Nami said while Akira nervously.
"You have no idea." Nami brought Akira in for a kiss.
"I love it." Nami said.
"And I love you." Akira said.
Omake 2 End
Thetrueazure: Happy Birthday Gunmare!
Ritsu: Can you please not yell, I have a splitting headache from being on the road with you for 8 hours.
Thetrueazure: Suck it up. Stay tuned.
